They're main focus is to convince as many people as possilbe that they are depressed and need to take a pill for it.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Depression is a disease! I had it and I was a completely different person than I am today. HOwever, I don't endorse any of the 'remedies' that Pharma has to offer. If Pharma just makes that declaration in order to sell the 'cure' then I wouldn't believe it because it's being used as a sales pitch IMHO. People need to understand that depression is real and that they shouldn't just ignore it but seek help (hopefully from a Nutritionist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
